So, I am working on a game with a lot of code, and every once in a while the editor freezes up, and when I try to reload it it deletes each and every block of code I placed. It is quite tedious and a few times I forget to save my code on my Laptop as a PNG and I have to start from an earilier point. Is there anything I can do?

What were you doing when it freezes up? Also, you should save as PNG regularly anyways, or use the GItHub integration.

Usually I am moving a block around. Then the editor freezes up and if I reload or exit, when I come back the code is gone.

If you look in the browser console does anything give a hint?

What I do is if the browser tab freezes, I create a new window of [https://arcade.makecode.com/#editor](https://arcade.makecode.com/#editor) and it would not delete any block. I don’t know if it will work on you tho.

@TheJaky just press Ctrl + Shift + I to bring up that window and look for any changes in the red X icon and the yellow ! triangle, these signify errors and warnings, and will be printed in the console.
